Raising the flag for Armed Forces Day

People are being invited to a flag raising ceremony at Blaby District Council to show their support for those who have served or are currently serving in the military.

The event marks the start of Armed Forces Week, which runs from June 20-26, and veterans along with current members of the military are particularly being urged to wear their medals or badges with pride at the short ceremony.

Lucy Wheeler, civic engagement and events officer at the Council said:

This is a great opportunity for people to show their appreciation to all the men and women serving their country at home and abroad.

The flag will be raised outside the council offices on Desford Road at 10.30am on Monday 20 June.
